I'm with Ben here. I don't really appreciate receiving Maccessibility
updates. Is there not a list I can subscribe to if I want to receive
them? Not only that, but they are snippets with a link to the full
story. I request that these not be sent to macvisionaries.

Hey Jon,
You might have better luck working with your outdated copy by using
the mouse. Route the mouse to the VO cursor (I think the command is
vo+cmd+f5 - have a look in the menu by pressing vo+f7) and clicking
(vo+shift+space). That's how I got the old bookshare app working, as
well as some

I thought I read somewhere that there was a way to have the terminal

This isn't a solution, but I am wondering what if any problems people

Hey,
As I'm eventually looking into getting an iPhone (by which I mean next
year when things may change once again) I'm glad to hear some of it's
shortcomings. (everything has shortcomings) Out of curiosity: how has
battery life been for voiceover users? I read that it you can get 8

To be honest, I don't think it was so unfairly written. I do agree
with some of the points he made, mainly those pertaining to finding
the icon which announces battery status. I quested over to the

got to me a little; though
I think that anyone reading the article would know themselves that it
was written before the release of the iPhone; if I remember correctly
he stated so (correct me if I'm wrong - I'll look at it when I get
home). Anyone can speculate. A lot of the initial hype regarding the
iPhone was almost
I remember reading about new suported braille displays, including some
bluetooth ones. I don't think they delved into specific details of
actual supported models.

It's a slippery slope, one Apple will hopefully avoid. If they
continue to add features to label and customize how VO interacts with
the OS and apps they are giving themselves more work, as well as
risking the awesome independence VO gives us. JFW practically
dominates the keyboard, making
Nearly everything they point out is negative. It's almost as if
they're deliberately skipping over what the screenreader does well so
that they can get right to the bad stuff. My favorite has to be the
section where they discuss using voiceover with the internet - while
there are some legitimate
product or hasn't matured
much (like Microsoft's narrator) then a complaint is justified.

Sounds to me like an improved version of Agness. I'm guessing the
voice shown in the guided tour during the voice control section is the
same used for VO feedback.

I think someone way back mentioned the Keynote Companion. I still have
one of those. The screen is cracked and broken, but the rest of the
unit would work fine if the backup battery had it's charge and the
watch battery was replaced. I never got too much out of it - the word
processor was a lot
On mine the power button is a small round convex little thing right
above the power jack which looks kind of like a usb or firewire port
(just smaller and thinner). I don't know if they moved it for the new

Regarding the first question: Not sure how to get the ticking to
return. I've never actually heard ticking sounds for anything other
than the Apple Software Update progress - all other ones are quiet
with VO. Maybe I've inadvertantly turned it off, as I think
softwareupdate logs in under another
Jaws Keyboard Manager might help. Focus the JAWS window. It is under
the utilities menu.

The old macintalk voice (at that time I believe it was called
PlainTalker) was much more robotic. I think it was replaced in the
mid-90s. The android people are working on implementing blindness
accessibiliity into the G1 (and apparently the android platform). The
phone uses a touchscreen.
I bought a digital book from amazon once. It was a PDF. I could read
it with JFW years ago when I got it, so I'd doubtless be able to read
it with VO if preview can read protected content.

Alternatively, you could hit vo+shift+m once misspelled word is

Not sure about this myself, but if all else fails you can use JFW's
keyboard manager to reassign keys you have trouble using when bound to
their default assignments. There is also apparently something called
shark keys or keyshark which can reassign keys, reenabling the insert
